New family member!

Well, it all started when we found out we were going to move to the inner city Memphis. We were both excited for the move; this is where we felt God was leading us to go. We both knew that it isn't the best area to live in, but maybe we didn't know it was as bad as it is...BUT thank you to my good friend Emily, we found out Memphis is #5 on the most dangerous city in the US list. The very next day, Erik and I bought a dog! Coincidence? I think Erik was a little worried about his wife and daughter; what do you think? 


We decided to get a Boxer. They are great with kids, and not too hairy for me to handle. He is a beautiful dog, and we named him Rocky. He is about a year old, and is 60 pounds! We were planning to get a dog when we decided to move here, but I think the article made Erik look for a dog even harder :)
I was trying to convince him to let me get a cat, and put a sign "BEWARE OF DOG" on our door instead, but...I found Rocky online and thought he was one handsome dude. I might still get my way and get a cat too.

We hope you like our new addition to the family as much as we do!
